Given that Tesla's entire Supercharger team was fired today, I'm not sure if "usually" can be applied to this situation. Bruce.

My 2022 Palladium Model X (Midnight Silver Metallic) has this issue sometimes during hot weather. Getting some airflow over the FWD seems to help the situation. Bruce.

Done, although for future reference, it's probably better to do a report on some post in this thread. That's a nice looking site to put a Supercharger! Bruce.

While Tesla officially calls it the "New Model 3 Performance" (or "2024 Model 3 Performance"), "Highland" was the codename for the "refreshed" Model 3 and many people inside and outside Tesla recognize that term. Please stop posting these one-liners to various threads where the term "Highland"...

Thanks, I might try playing with the stoppers. Removing the cinch / cinch motor, while probably easy for someone accustomed to working on cars, is out of my comfort zone. (I appreciate how much people have discovered about this issue since it first started happening in 2016.) Bruce.

My son ran into this problem today (so that's three times now on the same car, a Model S 2015 85D). Waiting for a mobile service appointment on Thursday. Bruce.

Here's my understanding: AP is an older codebase, more mature but as pointed out above only to be used for freeway driving. (Disregard people doing stupid AP tricks for their YouTube channels or whatever.) FSD is newer (with the "end to end neural nets" architecture), less mature but seemingly...

So actually this appears to be a fairly new product. I didn't see anything implying it was already posted, although the vendor started a promotional thread for it in the last day or two...

Clearly I'm not thinking about this the right way. 😎 Bruce.

I was wondering that but once those cables are buried in the ground it’s not real likely anybody’s gonna dig them up and cart them off…right? Bruce.

Bruce.

When we see "V3" and "V4" in supercharge.info that's referring to the pedestals, not the charger cabinets. They've been working on some changes that allow for more details, some of which which rolled out recently. I suspect we'll have to wait until V4 cabinets get deployed to see how those get...

Drove past today on the way to the dentist. V4 pedestals, all but two are installed (the remaining ones are still on a pallet). Bruce.

Without disputing any of the above, the Palladium Model X (2022 and newer) lose standard turn signal and gear selector stalks. For me that makes switching between the X and, well, any other car a bit jarring. Bruce.

Given the fact that no one's apparently been able to get a charge here since sometime around April 12, and it's still not showing up on the mobile app, I'm changing the thread title to reflect a "temporary closure". Bruce. EDIT: Tagging @Guacahummus @Big Earl @corywright to see what change to...

Yes you can do turn signals, high beams, and wipers from the S3XY Buttons system. They might work a little differently from how physical controls work (for example the turn signals are push-on push-off, there isn't an equivalent to lightly pressing the turn signal stalk). Yes you need the...

I see that on the mobile app also. I'm gonna mark it as temporarily closed here on TMC. Maybe supercharge.info should do the same ... @Big Earl @Guacahummus @corywright Bruce.

Check-ins for 2024-04-20 - East Palo Alto - 1700 E Bayshore Rd, CA (#402) Bruce.

The trip planner on the Tesla web site is IMHO more of a marketing tool to show the feasibility of long-distance EV travel, than an actual mechanism I'd want to rely on for trip planning. Bruce.

Personally, I've only noticed the smell when driving past the cattle lots, which are a little bit north of the Harris Ranch Superchargers. Bruce.

No worries! OK, now if I had actually had my tea this morning first, I would have noticed in the Model X post you did, you actually did say "Model X". So. I merged both of the threads together and all the posts are in the thread in the Model X forum...discussion should continue there because...

Great first post, welcome to TMC! Bruce.

Friendly note from a TMC moderator: It looks like you posted the same thread to both the Model S and Model X forums, but nowhere did you say which model of car you were asking about. Could you please say which, so I can delete/merge the "other" thread? Thanks, Bruce.

Congrats on your fourth century and welcome to 48th place! (I know you won't be staying for long 😎 ) Belated congratulations also to @Shesmyne2" and @a.deodatus for similar accomplishments. I gotta get back out on the road. Bruce.

@Big Earl @Guacahummus @corywright ^^^ "Expanding" state? Bruce.

@Guacahummus @Big Earl @corywright ^^^ Bruce.

Pictures of sites under construction are hugely helpful because they don't rely on the poster's interpretation as to what the current state actually is. Some people think "it's done" when they see posts and cabinets in place, but a lot of times that last step of getting the utility transformer...

Reverse angle picture (didn't feel like walking out into the middle of traffic on El Camino Real just to take pictures of a Supercharger!). Bruce.

Check-ins for 2024-03-30 - Hayward - 249 W Jackson St, CA (#400) (First to check-in) <-- shared with the rest of the "NorCal Four" - San Mateo - 2817 S El Camino Real, CA (#401) Bruce.

Some Superchargers have been "under construction" for much longer than this, unfortunately. Is charging at home or at work feasible for you? Bruce.

Live now. Bruce.

My S85D (AP1, MCU1) went into the service center this past weekend for the first time since 2021 (to change headlight bulbs and work off some minor recall items). While there they updated its software from 2022.8.10.16 to 2022.8.10.17, which as far as I can tell only changed the "telltale" font...

There was a batch of fairly significant changes in 2021 resulting in the "Palladium" Model S/X. Some people call that a "refresh". Did you miss it? Bruce.

The site for this thread (Dublin, CA - Amador Valley Blvd.). I saw a repost of the NextDoor report on a local Tesla FB group, as well as a lot of chatter on the topic. From what I can tell, Tesla replaced the affected cables sometime before or over the weekend, and the site is operational as of...

Went by here this morning and didn’t see any signs of construction. Bruce.

https://supercharge.info/map?siteID=7771 Found by MarcoRP, 12 charging posts + solar canopy + battery storage planned for 3745 Railroad Ave., Pittsburg, CA: @Guacahummus @Big Earl @corywright Bruce.

Check-ins for 2024-03-23 - San Mateo - 1878 S Norfolk St, CA (#399) (First to check-in) Shared first with @NKYTA and @israndy ! Bruce.

Congratulations on your second century! FYI some of us are doing a meet-up for a shared first at San Mateo - 1878 S. Norfolk Street at 10AM today (Saturday). That's probably not compatible with your 84-Supercharger plan, but if you happen to be there we'd love to meet you. Bruce.

Taken this evening. Photo credit: Judy Chan Bruce.

Some of us paid $700 to go from the yoke to steering wheel, installation and new airbag included. Might have been some sales tax in there but $700 was the price in the online store. Bruce. PS. I got to keep the old yoke minus the airbag.

Hrm, I'm about 20 miles away, so _maybe_ this weekend? Bruce.

Live in mobile app also… Bruce.

No. The car software and app software are independent. Bruce.

On the Model S and Model X you can (at least in theory) switch from yoke to wheel and vice versa. There has not, in the last 2+ years, been an option offered by Tesla to add stalks to the Palladium Model S/X or remove stalks from older S/X. Note this thread is about the steering wheel retrofit...

@Big Earl @Guacahummus @corywright ^^^ Bruce.

Thanks! It's helpful to give some supporting evidence, like a photo of your car charging or a screenshot from the mobile app (see below). @corywright @Guacahummus @Big Earl ^^^ Bruce.

Congrats on your first century club! Bruce.

Thanks, I think I'll pass. My charging situation is a little complex (2 charging spaces, 3 plug-in cars) and I'm too lazy to figure out how their algorithms relate to my various needs and constraints. At least with the other solar+storage credit, I don't need to do anything substantially...

Picking a random reply...sorry for the delay, it's been a busy week and I'm only now catching up on TMC stuff. We've been batting this around at work a little bit because making well-performing end-to-end network paths is a big part of what we do. We thought it'd be interesting to see UDP tests...

Stupidly I just realized that of course they're likely to see more errors on a wireless radio link than a wireline network (in the latter case we basically assume it's zero). So...would there still be 15% packet loss at an offered load of 10Mbps? Or 40Mbps? Put another way how much of the packet...
